Thank you for your patience and sorry to hear you get a security warning that blocks you from using the app. With the help of the community, now I decided to rebuild and reupload the package in itch.io - so the program is a single file. With that, and the following instructions, it will from now work

 If you get an error saying "Apple cannot check this application for malicious software":

1. Press OK, then open "Privacy & Security" and scroll down until you see this:

2. Press "Allow Anyway"

3. Run a command again like :qq. Now you should get this window:

4. This time press "Open". From now on, all commands should work.

Alternatively, you can build the MacOS version yourself from the GitHub repository's code by yourself, which will also run faster as you can use the standard build instead the fat build. Building it yourself will automatically make MacOS trust this software on your MacBook.
